Mumbai Rains


Monsoons in Mumbai is an absolutely fascinating time for photography. This picture was photographed in the year 2007 and the sombre grey tones in contrast to the contrasting hues of the Mumbai Taxi is what particularly makes the work different. Converted into an art work using Photoshop, Art Rage and Corel Painter, this brings alive the beauty of the Mumbai monsoons and the Marine drive in particular.
